Vermont welcomes dogs. Wide-open spaces and public trails make for great places for dog owners to let their pups enjoy the great outdoors, and many lodging properties accommodate four-legged family members. Your dog will love exploring all the sights, sounds and scents of Vermont in all seasons. Visit a state park, take a walk on a rail trail or path - Wherever you decide to visit, a trip to Vermont is guaranteed to get tails wagging. Some paths and parks ask that dogs remain leashed; it's best to know before you go!
